Fabrication of corrugated Ge-doped silica fibers.
We present a method of fabricating Ge-doped SiO2 fibers with corrugations around their full circumference for a desired length in the longitudinal direction. The procedure comprises three steps: hydrogenation of Ge-doped SiO2 fibers to increase photosensitivity, recording of Bragg gratings with ultraviolet light to achieve modulation of refractive index, and chemical etching. Finite-length, rad...
متن کاملPump induced refractive index changes in commercial single-mode Yb-doped optical fibers
We have explored the refractive index changes (RIC) in single-mode aluminum silicate ytterbium-doped optical fibers induced by optical pulses at 980 nm and report dynamical fundamentals of the process. The RIC dynamics is shown to follow the population dynamics of the excited and unexcited ions with a factor proportional to their polarizability difference (PD). The PD dispersion profile indicat...
متن کاملIonizing Radiation Detectors Based on Ge-Doped Optical Fibers Inserted in Resonant Cavities
The measurement of ionizing radiation (IR) is a crucial issue in different areas of interest, from environmental safety and industrial monitoring to aerospace and medicine. Optical fiber sensors have recently proven good candidates as radiation dosimeters. Here we investigate the effect of IR on germanosilicate optical fibers. A piece of Ge-doped fiber enclosed between two fiber Bragg gratings ...
متن کاملRare-Earth Doped Optical Fibers
An optical fiber becomes active by doping its core with one or more atomic elements, usually (but not restricted to) rare-earths (RE’s), more specifically, the lanthanides that occupy the atomic numbers 57 to 71 of the periodic table. As it will be mentioned later in more detail, they use three electrons in bonding to the condensed materials such as crystals and glasses to become triply ionized...
متن کاملRefractive index profiles of Ge-doped optical fibers with nanometer spatial resolution using atomic force microscopy.
We show a quantitative connection between Refractive Index Profiles (RIP) and measurements made by an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). Germanium doped fibers were chemically etched in hydrofluoric acid solution (HF) and the wet etching characteristics of germanium were studied using an AFM. The AFM profiles were compared to both a concentration profile of the preform determined using a Scanning E...
